[Bug 286888] Re: Todo list doesn't hightlight nonrecurring overdue items

[Tim Holy]

I don't know if it's related, but there seem to be other issues with
dates: if I open the to-do list, and click to sort on the "date due"
column, it sorts them in order---but by MONTH, not by year. (I'm in the
US, so it displays the date as MM/DD/YY.) So that means that things
currently due in January 2009 appear at the top of the list, well ahead
of things I have due next week (Nov 2008). Note that I have items
scheduled over a span of many years (e.g., "cancel college fund
contributions," due in 2015...), so grouping by month is not a terribly
helpful surrogate for actual chronological order.

Incidentally, this problem negates a possible workaround for the
highlighting failure: to just read through the list of to-dos until you
get to a sufficiently-far-in-the-future date. Since currently it's not
possible to sort the list effectively by due date, it means I have to
read much of the list each time. Blah. I'm going to start keeping my
todos as a text file or scrap of paper, I think.
